How to Get Out Of The Materialism Trap

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

Today's episode is all about knowing what to value in life. The quote "I'd rather cry in a Ferrari than smile in my leased Honda" facilitates a dangerous mindset.  Happiness comes easier when we understand that our want for material items is most likely an effort to impress others and not ourselves.  Having all the money in the world, but being unhappy is a very real problem and I hope I can help you flip your mindset towards what I feel  leads to true happiness.

Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.
